You guys make Escobar sound like Cy Young. He is having a great year but since he has been a starter with ANA he is 32-31 (4 years) and at age 31 I would think he would move more towards .500 then to claiming any trophies at year end.

This board is getting mighty complacent with Narron's lineups.
Hatteberg leading off?
Switch him with Hamilton and it gets a lot better.
And if it comes to nitpicking...how about swapping Ross with Gonzo. I prefer someone in the 8th spot who can actually score from 2nd on a single.

Otherwise my hope that Narron was over his lefty-splitting obsession was spoiled with the fact that the Angels have to lefties to use.

Yeah, Hatt leading off is not the route I would take either. The lineup is better - but still not perfect.
But, don't get used to it - I am sure this is the only time we will see it this year
Escobar has pitched very well this year. His Dips is low (3.29) based mainly on an unreal low HR rate (much lower than his career). Now, his FB rate is the same as always, so I would suggest he's been pretty lucky in not giving up more HR's.
I think a game in Great American Ballpark is just the thing to get that HR/FB rate back to normal.
Hatteberg is probably the best lead off hitter ont he team, IMO. He'll get on base more tham Hamilton or Freel, or Phillips, the only other potetial options.
Y'all are in rare form today!
Pennant or bust!
My ideal line up has Hatteburg on another team and votto in the line up but whatever...
I think its ugly to have a lugger like Hatte in the leadoff sport but i guess you deal... hes the best OBP guy on the team
Figgins grounds out to 3rd. 1 out.
Cabrera flies out to left. 2 outs.
Guerrero walks on 4 pitches.
Mathews Jr. strikes out looking on 3 pitches. 0-0 mid 1st.
Hatteberg strikes out swinging. 1 out.
Phillips grounds back to the pitcher but Escobar throws the ball away.
